While this story is an encouragement to those who cannot and a challenge to those who will not, it is chiefly a warning to those who exploit!
While those who labour in the word are worthy of double-pay, they have no right to demand better pay than the Shepherd of us all. NEVER!
The prosperity gospel is a stench in the nostrils of God; their entire system of religious business will be torn down! The neglect of the poor and elderly is anti-gospel and to prey on the vulnerable is to invite hell!
“The gift of Christ was his whole life, his sacrificial death, his triumphant resurrection, and his glorious ascension. The overwhelming, unmeasurable, sacrificial generosity of Christ is to be the well of grace that you draw from for yourself
God sets the standard for generosity.
